Habit: how to knit

20120326-213743.jpg

This book is from the library. Lily loves it and wants me to get us a permanent copy. This pleases me. Although at the moment, she purls better than she knits.

She opens it up and said “hurray, it tells you how to cast off!”

Like I don’t know and couldn’t show her that. At least 3 different ways.

I finished the Big Main Bit of the top I’m currently knitting, but need to be done with so I can knit my exciting new summer cardi. Big circulars are freed up, and now I need to knit the sleeves (which are this week’s train knitting) and we’re done. I then have over 7 months to sew up and finish the neckline. Should be doable, even for an avoidance specialist like me.

But wa-hey cardigan!

Dammit, just remembered I haven’t swatched. Apparently that’s where I’ll be starting tomorrow night 🙁
